That really depends on the hosting vendor, but it essentially means HTTPS isn't set up right on the server your image is on. The TLS certificate basically verifies the HTTPS connection / that the server is the server it claims to be and no attacker is intercepting, so when the certificate is wrong browsers will assume it's not safe to access. This is the exact error my browser is showing with the certificate: "Websites prove their identity via certificates. Nightly does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for www.ezmash.net. The certificate is only valid for the following names: mail.ezmash.net, cpanel.ezmash.net, cpcalendars.ezmash.net, cpcontacts.ezmash.net, ipv6.ezmash.net, webdisk.ezmash.net"
Edit: ahhh nevermind, it's more complicated:
You actually linked your image via HTTP, where the certificate is not relevant. To be specific, your image URL starts with http:// and not https://.
And this is why that is giving you trouble: it really depends on how locked down the browser is, since very modern and safe browsers will not load unencrypted content via HTTP embedded in a website accessed safely via HTTPS. (like the rpgmakerweb.com forum is, check the URL bar: it should show it is accessed via secure HTTPS in your browser.) However, browsers used to treat this more leniently in the past, which is likely why the image still works for a couple of people here and why it worked for most in the past but works for less and less people now, giving you this impression that somehow it working is slowly deteriorating in the forum. (Because in a way it is, but it is not the forums' fault.) Basically, everyone not seeing it has a browser with safer, more locked down settings, that will not load unsafe unencrypted content on a verified, encrypted site like this forum.
But summed up, change your link from http to https, and actually fix the HTTPS on the ezmash server to use a proper certificate, and it should work. You just shouldn't link any images via HTTP anymore nowadays, browsers simply reject that now in a lot of circumstances and will only do so more in the future. (Since browser vendors are looking to phase out HTTP for most things, since it's so unsafe.)
